[Episode 22]

Professor Ouyang,

this Miracle Doctor Feng, are his medical skills really so extraordinary as the rumors claim?

Yes, they are extraordinary!

I've had a sore leg for years,

yet he healed it in a heartbeat.

So how did he treat it?

That's what I'm interested in.

I didn't see him use any advanced medical technology,

but the effects were amazingly immediate.

This kind of ability is perhaps beyond the scope of humans.

You mean, an Undergrounder?

That would be left for you to verify.

Well, I have to get going.

And right, pay your mentor a visit when you have time.

All right.

[Clinic]

Since you're asking me so earnestly,

I guess I'll take a look.

Stick to the rules.

No one can come in.

Can we count on this guy?

Such an odd temper.

Can he actually cure Old Zhao?

For Lord Black Robe to tell us to come back for treatment,

he must have his reasons.

I overheard Ouyang Zhen and Feng Qubing's conversation just now.

it seems like this doctor has something up his sleeves.

Besides, Old Zhao already became like this.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Well, a man of striking appearance for sure.

I can't let you stay blind, right?

Good point.

Close your eyes.

Black Robe Envoy,

it seems like this Feng Qubing uses dark energy.

What should we do, seize him?

Regardless of what he is,

if he can heal his eyes, I'll only thank him.

You guys are something.

Who peeked inside?

I'm telling you whatever your background may be,

if you break my rules, then we're finished.

Dr. Feng! Dr Feng!

What's going on here?

Enough, go find someone else.

Now get lost! Get lost!

Get lost!

Da Qing, pour me a cup of tea.

What is up with you guys today?

So quiet.

I don't even have to see and can tell

the frown on each of your faces.

I just can't see, that's all.

Isn't it great there's no one monitoring your work now?

If you really can't see from now on,

I will take care of you.

Are we saying goodbye to Boss now?

Why so gloomy?

Nevermind, ignore me.

Dr. Feng,

I apologize again for what happened last time.

As long as you promise to help my friend,

I'll do anything you ask.

Fine.

Kneel.

What did you say?

Kneel down.

Go kneel down outside.

Such stubbornness!

Bring him here tomorrow!

Miss Lu, that was my family and financial situation.

Please excuse me. I'm going to touch-up my makeup.

Sure.

It's done.

You can come in.

Thank you, Dr. Feng.

Hello.

We have a new case.

Are you that cold?

Liu Lang,

when we meet with clients in the afternoon,

you can't be wearing that.

Liu Lang.

Did you also...?

This is the third one already.

What in the devil is happening in our company?

It feels so good to see the light again.

A strange disease hits Dragon City.

A young man turns into a senior in seconds.

Something strange happens as soon as my vision comes back.

Chief Zhao, Seastar Administration has transferred the case to us.

Many people were affected

and one casualty named Wang Qun...

Wang Qun?

That name is so familiar.

I've heard it somewhere before.

Wang Qun...

We've seen Wang Qun before!

He's the one who always delivered our packages,

the delivery guy!

I remember that on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival,

he was in charge of all the packages here in Guangming Road.

Fate really makes a fool of people.

Old Chu. Little Guo.

Go talk to the victim last night, Liu Lang,

and investigate further.

Okay.

Those two are becoming a better and better team.

Before the symptoms suddenly appeared,

did you notice anything strange?

Or did you ever get on anyone's bad side?

No, nothing at all.

What trouble could I possibly cause?

Now, my life is ruined.

Hello.

Chief Zhao, Liu Lang is just an ordinary salaryman.

We didn't find any clues for the time being.

Okay, I see.

You and Little Guo keep watch.

Let's discuss it when you come back tonight.

Are you Liu Lang's coworker?

Yes, I am.

Did you meet with him today?

Yes, I just did.

You don't seem surprised.

To be honest with you,

there have been three incidents like this in our company already.

Now, everyone is panicking.

No one knows if they'll be the next one.

Has your company made rivals in the past?

And has anything strange happened nearby—

Wh-What's the matter?

Hello.

Hello, Li Qian.

This is Ouyang Zhen.

We've organized the information.

The first extreme aging was the only one that led to death.

It happened after the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The victim was Wang Qun, a delivery boy.

From that day on, a new incident occurred every other day.

Six incidents in total.

Four of them happened in the same company building.

The receptionist girl confirmed it

that Wang Qun was also their usual delivery guy.

Then, is there anything suspicious about this company?

I looked into it.

Nothing in particular.

Today, we saw in person Liu Lang's coworker turn old.

The only thing common to the victims is their work venue.

Lin Jing, go there and look for traces of dark energy.

Boss, the detector is not working properly these days.

It's not sensing any dark energy.

I thought it was because the Undergrounders went back to their families for the holidays and hadn't returned.

That's weird.

When Feng Qubing healed Old Zhao's eyes a few days ago,

he definitely used dark energy.

Old Brother Black,

did you notice anything when he was treating my eyes?

I didn't sense any dark energy at the time.

And something has been bothering me this whole time.

In everything, yin and yang are complementary. One falls and another rises. This is the rule of nature.

But those victims aged without any warning,

as if their life energy was suddenly pulled out.

It's similar to the effect of one of the Sacred Items, the Longevity Dial,

which shares the user's life.

One's life force cannot disappear into thin air.

If someone else stole it for another use,

then this life force must fall somewhere

and rise somewhere else.

Also, the locations of the rise and fall can't be far apart.

Right!

I didn't notice it last time because of the road construction.

That company building is only one street away from the Dragon Clouds District.

Extreme aging. Feng Qubing...

Looks like we'll have to pay another visit to this Feng Qübing tomorrow.

As expected of a previous owner of a Sacred Item

who came in contact with its magnetic field,

her cells are indeed multiplying.

Beware of karma.

If she continues to use the Sacred Item, her body cannot withstand such a drastic change.

To have outstanding advancements, you need outstanding sacrifices.

In comparison, physical damage is nothing!

No. No.

Ouyang, in the many years we cooperated, you were never an extremist like this.

Because there's no time left!

Professor.

You can leave first.

Thank you for your cooperation. You can head home.

This is incorrect.

Hello again, you two.

Who's the blind one this time?

This miracle doctor likes pulling jokes.

We're here today to ask you some questions about your power.

On the left is the list of patients you treated.

On the right is the list of victims of extreme aging.

As soon as you treat a patient here, a victim appears there.

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

That's impossible.

I know these patients,

but I've never met any of these victims.

Exactly, how did you cure your patients?

At this point, I might as well tell you.

I used to be just a mediocre doctor.

But after that day,

I felt as though my skills were suddenly activated.

Your family practiced medicine to help people for three generations before you.

But when it's finally your turn, you suck at it.

This brush can fulfill your dreams of becoming a skilled doctor.

What's going on?!

Calm down.

I'm activating your miracle doctor genes.

Soon, things will be different.

Don't tell me I stole life energy from those people

and that's why they turned old?

Perhaps that person already chose the location

and steered you into absorbing them.

He didn't tell me!

I really didn't know that when I was treating my patients,

I would be sacrificing other people's lives.

You're a doctor who treats and save people.

If he told you, would you have agreed to it?

Of course, he would keep it from you.

I truly only want to be a good doctor.

I only want to help people.

Why would I want to hurt anyone?

I thought that guy was helping me.

I mistook him for a good person.

It seems like there's someone behind all of this yet again.

But it's too hard to find him with so little clues.

Besides, we don't even know his intent.

I'm afraid we must wait for him to show himself.

Every generation of our family practiced medicine and helped people.

I will also help them.

I'll return their life forces!

Your power is based on taking and giving life forces.

You can save them,

but in turn, there will be other innocent victims.

Actually, there is someone who isn't so innocent.

He's harmed too many.

He should've atoned for his sins a long time ago.

I have decided.

Let me make up for my previous mistakes.

Zhao Yunlan.

Dr. Feng.

My eyes recovered at someone else's expense, too.

Let's do it together.

Fixed.

I remember now, you majored in bioengineering.

Shen Wei is your supervisor.

Li Qian,

are you interested in involving further in our grand research project?

I know! I know that

you were always eager and passionate about scientific research.

So, are you interested?

Good.

I was right about you.

Well, let's take care of the paperwork.

Once you sign the papers, you can start working right away!

Let's go.

This way.

Let's begin.

Dr. Feng,

you're a good doctor.

In the name of every victim you saved,

I thank you.

What are you doing?

From now on—

A backup power supply?

Oh no!

Although I couldn't retrieve the data,

I did get the thing.

That is good enough.

Boss will remember your contributions.

There's no need.

I'm helping you for the sake of my own goals,

not to be your servant dog.

Boss' speculation was right.

They are indeed studying that thing.

Hand me the thing

and continue monitoring Seastar Administration.

Okay.

As for you, are you prepared?

Of course.

Extreme aging was just the prologue.

As for those sinners,

I'll kill every one of them!

Old Zhou, you rest well.

Leave this place to me.

Professor.

I initially wanted to give you more time to get used to this place,

but a lot has happened.

If you truly want to be a part of the team,

you must pick up the pace.

Understood.

To the public's eye, our research topic

is simply to understand the genes of Undergrounders.

However, a crude genetic research—

Isn't worthy to be coveted by so many.

That's right. You're smart.

Since you are mentally prepared,

well, take a look at our true objective.

Chief Zhao, Undergrounders infiltrated Seastar Administration Research Institute last night,

causing many casualties.

Their target was most likely the classified research findings.

Lin Jing, is your dark energy detector fixed yet?

You don't want next month's bonus anymore?

It's not my fault.

I don't know what's up with the detector.

Even now, I can't understand what's going on.

Could it be that the nature of dark energy changed?

Forget it.

I won't be counting on you.

Old Chu,

go make a charge sheet at the Seastar Administration.

Lin Jing, go with him and retrieve some evidence.

Chief Zhao, we have something new!

I found this at the door.

[To Special Investigations, from the owner of the Merit Brush]

What? What do you see?

A letter from the owner of the Merit Brush.

With this kind of experiment, the Special Investigations will—

Don't bring up those undisciplined Special Investigation people. Zhao Yunlan is blind now.

If he can't recover, someone will replace him as the new leader.

And when that time comes,

your Professor Shen might get transferred to this facility.

Hello, it's me.

"Extreme aging was just the prologue.

The curtains are now open.

At any time, if your unit can find out my true identity

and seize me,

then I will hand over the Merit Brush."

The Seastar Administration was just under attack,

and today we receive this letter of challenge.

One incident after another, indeed.

He's bluffing.

How come the Sacred Items are like chives, one stubble after the other.

This is the third one already.

No wonder Ye Zun had no fear.

He had something else up his sleeves.

Where's Dead Cat?

My ears feel so refreshed today.

Deputy is taking half a day off

to meet with an old friend.

An old friend?

Right now,

you're sitting at a midsummer's beach.

The sand is soft from the sunshine.

The waves break white into flowers

and the fish swim freely.

Fish!

Excuse me, Dr.Cheng. Please continue.

What's the matter, Brother Lin Jing?

I received an anonymous email

telling me how to fix boss' eyes with the Longevity Dial.

Follow my voice.

Walk forward step by step.

With every step,

you are closer to your memories.

Kunlun...

Kunlun!

Kunlun!

Don't come any closer.

- Da Qing! - Don't come any closer!

Da Qing, when I count three, two, one, you'll wake up immediately

Thee, two, one!

I'm sorry, Dr. Cheng. Sorry.

Did you remember anything?

What did you see?

Shen Wei.

Let's forget it.

No, we're trying again.

It's fine. I can see now.

These Sacred Items are great, as expected.

More effective than any superpower.

Everybody, long time no see.

You punk.

You got uglier.

Thanks.

Here.

I thought that after my vision came back,

there wouldn't be any more happy days of "If I ask for food, then I get food."

I even considered staying blind for longer.

Don't joke about your health.

So, what is that Merit Brush all about?

I don't know.

Even you don't know?

According to the legends,

the Merit Brush is best at support among the four Sacred Items,

but I'm not familiar with its exact abilities.

Not only that,

ever since Feng Qubing's case,

I haven't been able to sense any dark energy in Dragon City,

so I can't deduce what the enemy is plotting.

It's not just you.

All of Lin Jing's devices are also not working.

What do you say? Should I deduct from his paycheck?

Regardless, from now on,

we're in the pocket of the Merit Brush owner.

That won't do.

It's not our style.

Even if we have to dig three feet deep into the ground,

we must find the clues.

I knew you were going to say that,

so I made other preparations.

I got in touch with the Regent.

He said there might be information on the Merit Brush at the Underworld Monarch Palace.

Then, what are we waiting for?

Le'ts go together.

I'm going alone.

Don't forget.

Your last trip to the Underworld wasn't exactly pleasant.

Besides, you're a normal human.

Going to the Underworld is always dangerous for you.

Old Bro Black, my eyes have completely healed.

Not to mention, the situation is dire!

We don't have time to waste.

Eat.

I just called Wang Zheng and took care of everything.

Then, let's make good use of time and hurry back.

What are you doing?

Lord Black Robe,

what are you planning to do?

My Old Zhao's eyes just healed

and you're already exposing him to danger by making him go to the Underworld with you?

What's the matter?

Someone's agitated.

It's okay.

We're coming back tonight.

You stay and watch the house.

Let's go.

I'm going, too!

You're going to disturb the magnetic field.

Lord Black Robe Envoy clearly brought honor to my bar by his presence.

So what if I raise the prices?

I don't believe I'm getting zero customers today.

You again?

I recognize your face.

This is the Underworld?

You caused trouble again and are hiding here, am I right?

The way you get yourself in trouble is unique as always!

You know him?

Is he another one of your enemies?

We're in trouble.

Who knows where Shen Wei landed.

Did you hit your head and became a retard?

You're the one who's a retard.

It's called revisiting an old place.

I'm happy.

So your eyes are okay now?

Never been better.

Seems like I made the right decision to come to Underworld this time.

Let's go find Shen Wei.

You're acting like I don't exist?

Stop right there!

Say it. Are we resolving this in court or privately?

I saw many people heading to the bar.

Did something happen?

I heard someone fell from the sky at the bar.

That's exciting.

Should we go take a look?

Forget it. We should get going.

Fortune-tellers might deceive you,

but me, Zhao, my advice is different.

Every word I say is legit.

You've really been to a farm?

This method you taught me, will it really make me rich?

On the account of this fat cat?

Brother, let me emphasize again.

This is not just a cat. This is a fortune cat.

Dead Cat, show him.

This is our family's auspicious item.

I can't give him to you.

Well, I already taught you the method.

You can set it up yourself.

Dead Cat, we're done here.

Oh my god.

See?

Business is here already.

Lord Black Robe Envoy!

Lord Black Robe Envoy, what would you like to drink.

I'll get it for you.

Stop drinking. We don't have enough time.

Regent, you've worked hard.

Not at all. Not at all.

I'm well aware of what you came here for.

However...

However what?

Can't you tell we're in the middle of inaugurating a new leader?

All facilities of the palace are closed until the ceremony is complete,

until a new monarch sits in his throne.

The database repository you are looking for is no exception.

Underworld Monarch retires, too?

Underworld Monarch also suffers from old age and death.

Perhaps, he ages even faster than other people.

What does that mean?

Just in time.

The presence of Lord Black Robe and Master of the Guardians

would make this ceremony more colorful.

Okay, we'll stay then.

After the ceremony is done tomorrow, we'll do some searching.

We should try to return as early as possible.

We have to do adequate preparation to face the Merit Brush owner's challenge.

You expect my Old Zhao to follow the rules?

How naive.

What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

I'm the special agent sent by Lord Black Robe.

On the orders of Underworld Monarch,

I'm here to look up some important documents!

Black Robe and the Underworld Monarch?

Who do you actually work for?

Besides, we're in the middle of changing the Underworld Monarch.

Yesterday, they ordered to close off the repository.

Leave!

- Leave!- Okay.
